Question

My 6mth old fell off his bumbo & bruised his head. What do I do?

Share

My mom had him on the bumbo on the table. She turned her back & he fell out...onto the floor!
He has a bruise on his forhead now. He seems fine, but will he have a headache? Should I give him Infant Advil?

Don't give him anything unless he shows signs of distress. Check his pupils to make sure they're the same size. And for heaven's sake, hide the damned Bumbo the next time your mom is around. It is STUPID to use those things on a table. For crying out loud, if he was sitting up on his own you'd know not to do that, right?
